Companies Businesses and public sector organisations are becoming increasingly interested in helping their employees to get involved in volunteering. For employers, supporting employee volunteering can be part of a broader corporate social responsibility programme. It can build loyalty and pride in their staff, and enhance their local reputation. Staff can become involved individually or in teams. The volunteering experience offers a true development opportunity, as tasks entail skills such as project management, planning, negotiation, leadership and creativity under pressure.
Individuals There are many ways for individuals to choose to engage with the homeless, from putting your professional or technical skills at our disposal, to taking part in our events to acting as a Trustee on our Board.
Virtual volunteering We recognise that time is at a premium for companies and individuals alike. With this in mind we have developed the concept of having online surgeries, where our staff can have access to subject experts to offer advice.
